The popularity of meme coins has continued to grow following the success of PEPE, with BEN and PSYOP gaining significant attention due to their association with media personalities Ben Armstrong and Andrew Tate. However, the creator of these coins, ben.eth, is now facing legal action and allegations of misconduct, including misleading investors and wire fraud. Renowned law firm Loevy & Loevy has threatened to file a class action lawsuit against ben.eth, with damages potentially reaching $21 million. Despite mounting legal troubles, ben.eth appears to be focusing on airdrops rather than addressing the allegations against them. The future of BEN and PSYOP remains uncertain as more individuals express interest in joining the lawsuits.

Trump team files complaint over Harris inheriting $96 million in Biden campaign funds
According to reports from foreign media, the Trump campaign team has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, claiming that Biden's transfer of $96 million in campaign funds to Harris is illegal. David Warrington, a lawyer for the Trump campaign team, said that this was a "shameless money-grabbing act" and would constitute the largest excessive donation and most serious violation in the history of the Federal Election Law. Shortly after Biden withdrew from the election and appointed Harris as his preferred successor, she took over Biden's campaign committee's bank account. Steve Roberts, a lawyer who represented Republican candidates, said that the argument against the transfer was a "wishful thinking" of his Republican colleagues. The Harris campaign team said that this complaint would not affect its fundraising or spending. -
